Split Fiction goes beyond just another great co-op game from Hazelight; it reignites the importance of couch co-op. It's a reminder that truly memorable co-op experiences are built in the living room, sharing laughter, brainstorming, and emotional moments together. This game is a grand spectacle of co-op.
A game that proves, once again, Hazelight's undisputed skill with cooperative dynamics: who knows if there will ever be a limit for this studio.

With a story that mixes fantasy and science fiction, varied mechanics and a more challenging difficulty, Split Fiction manages to innovate within the genre without losing the essence of Josef Fares. Its visual beauty, the depth of its characters and the unique gameplay make every moment special. It is not only a tribute to the studio's previous titles, but an evolution that shows that the coop mode still has a lot to offer.

Whether you're being propelled through the air with the power of pig farts or tearing up thanks to an emotional reveal, Split Fiction is so densely packed with hilarity, heart, and hectic action that you'll never forget every moment you spent playing it with a friend. đ
If thereâs one word that perfectly describes Split Fiction, itâs âfun.â The levels are amazing, the story is entertaining enough, and thereâs no shortage of joy in exploring with friends what is essentially a virtual playground. Itâs such a blast that I canât help but hope Split Fiction, fingers crossed, will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, It TakesTwo, and rake in the same well-deserved accolades.
As a whole, Split Fiction does everything that youâd expect from a Hazelight game. And thatâs an uncompromised focus on cooperative gameplay that is unmatched by pretty much anything else out there. The vast amount oft gameplay variety and exciting moments makes this a must-play; even if the story doesnât quite hit the heights that we were expecting from other titles from the same company, the sum of its parts still makes it superior in every other aspect, and especially when compared to other outings from 2025 thus far.
Split Fiction is the highly anticipated split-screen co-op game from It Takes Two authors, and the premise were respected. The adventure starring Mio and Zoe is full of new gameplay mechanics that appears through the story, and give a fresh look to the gameplay. While the final result is not incredibile as It Takes Two, Hazelight Studios has achieve an incredible milestone, where is creativity reach new horizons thanks to the secondary stories, a mini-adventures with mini-game and unique gameplays and stories to told. Sure one of the best games of this year full of incredible releases.

What Hazelight has done with Split Fiction is simply amazing, using their expertise to craft a co-op adventure that feels just right. There are all sorts of gameplay sequences that can appeal to different tastes, an engrossing story told through the characters and the worlds, and splendidly propped up by imaginative cooperative interactions that have none of the frustration and all of the charm. It might not be the best co-op game for everyone, but from a design perspective, there are no split opinions; this is Hazelight Studiosâ best work yet.
Much like Hazelight Studios' previous titles, Split Fiction left us nothing short of impressed, thanks to its varied gameplay and a technically refined presentation. This time around, Mio and Zoe dive deep into their own imagination, in a game clearly crafted for a more experienced audience. Itâs fast-paced, intense, and at times downright unforgiving, punishing even the smallest misstep. A bit of frustration is to be expected. The game demands razor-sharp reflexes and a high level of coordination and understanding between players. But despite the difficulty spike, we genuinely believe the experience is more than worth it.

Split Fiction takes players on a visually creative journey through diverse fantasy and sci-fi worlds, with solid gameplay and some memorable side moments. However, the lack of narrative depth, constant pressure, and missed opportunities for meaningful cooperation made the experience more exhausting than enjoyable. In the end, its imaginative environments stood out, but they werenât quite enough to fully balance the frustration.

Split Fiction offers amongst the most incredible adventures in a video game ever. Hazelight Studios gave us something truly special. And you can enjoy all of this for only ÂŁ40. Definitely a Game of the Year contender.
Split Fiction is deeply engaging, and the hours flew by as we played. Many games hold playersâ hands, guiding them through every step with constant prompts and restrictive mechanics. Split Fiction, however, throws you in headfirst, trusting you to experiment, explore, and engage with its world on your own terms. For anyone considering it, make sure you have a Player 2 whoâs up for the ride. At 11â14 hours, itâs a commitment, but one thatâs absolutely worth it. Youâre in for a journey that will explore creativity almost, to its very limits and a gameplay that feels fresh and exciting. And if youâre wonderingâyes, Iâm still on speaking terms with CaptainTrophyHunter, until our next co-op adventure.
Split Fiction proves that a great story and character development can create a truly memorable experience.
Split Fiction is a fantastic game, polished to perfection, I canât imagine how the developers are going to top this.
Split Fiction, the latest game from Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios, is seriously impressive. Itâs one of the best co-op experiences out there. They took everything that worked in their past games, made it even better, and packed it with creative puzzles, varied gameplay, and awesome level design. Itâs the kind of game youâll remember long after you finish it.

Split Fiction was like stepping into a delightful video game / pop culture time capsule. It feels like almost every major game â or hilarious industry meme â that ever mattered is here for you to Leo DiCaprio point at excitedly.
Split Fiction is one of the best titles Iâve had the chance to play. It was created by true industry enthusiasts who poured a ton of heart into the game. Itâs a cooperative masterpiece that could serve as a textbook example of a job well done. Itâs a long, diverse story thatâs perfect for spending quality time with someone close to you. The blend of fantasy and science fiction turned out to be a bullseye, and the creators seized the opportunity, delivering a wealth of creative solutions.

Joyful co-op adventure Split Fiction has some minor faults, but in the end it is filled with so many unforgettable "whoa!" moments, it would feel wrong to give this anything else than full five stars.
